Tips:
• If you prefer the smoothest version, preboil the canned chickpeas for 20 min, adding ½ teaspoon of baking soda.
• To tame the harsh flavor of raw garlic, soak it with the lemon juice for about 10 min before adding it to the mix.
• For a fluffier version, add a couple of tablespoons of ice-cold water.
